If I Were Building A Gallery?

The above graphic goes back a few years to a time when I was just beginning to wade into more serious waters concerning my photo and graphic work.

I chose to create a gallery image filled with actual pieces of my work. I did this for two reasons: One, it allowed me to view those pieces in a ‘virtual’ gallery setting. Two, as I entertained the notion of putting together an actual gallery show, this piece and subsequent pieces like it could be used within a portfolio to show around both online and off.

As I came across the old post today, which originally had two other random graphics and NO writing, (what was I thinking back then???) I decided to re-post it and include an explanation for it’s original existence.

Oh, so I didn’t end up doing the gallery show myself and a friend had in mind at the time. Neither of us hold any regrets on the matter. We’re both ‘creative mad scientists’ (my term, not his) who at some point may still bring this concept to light.

Many moons ago, the expierience-less me had no idea how much I would come to see the power and truth in those words. Somehow I think true understanding only comes to us when we’re ready to receive it’s truth.

Dan, thank you so much for the reblog! I think I mentioned it on your site, but I wanted to ‘do it right’ and make mention as well as give thanks for your doing it. Will look forward to seeing your posts in my feed too. If not I’ll just have to come visiting!!!
